Knowing Texans my money is on none makin it out of the Dallas City Limits.

That was just plain stupid to say. But most of what I have read here is up to date blathering that's been going on since politics began. Obama did one thing no other president never wanted to do... He ordered a Seal Team to find and kill Osammy bin laden and then ordered his body dumped in the ocean where nobody would find it. I thought that was pretty damn cool myself. Bush had him cornered in Pakistan and let him escape on horseback. Other times snipers have had him in their scopes but by the time they follow the chain of command to get permission to shoot he was already long gone. Politics needs a bad guy to blame things on and that is why bin laden stayed alive. At least we had one president with enough balls to have him killed. Of course that was the only great thing Obama did but I do like to give him kudo's for it.

I’ll give you that - good thing Obama got him - if Trump had got him headline would have read: “TRUMP ORDERS ASSASSINATION OF MUSLIM LEADER”

.Respectfully Obama did not get him .... a group of quiet professionals did .......

.....

I am not a fan of Obama, but I will give him credit for this event that took place when he was the Commander and Chief. Under his direction no matter how direct or indirect it might have been Osama was located and supposedly killed

that doesnt really make it sound like something all that great - - CIA finds a bad guy and then some general comes to a president and says we found him - do we have permission to go get him

what idiot would say no? and is simply saying yes really something to brag about?

If you seriously think about it every single area of the CIA and military had been looking for this guy long before Obama took office and the fact that Obama did take office didnt really change that or make it easier - did it?

Like I said - I will give him credit - it was on his watch - but other than saying yes when asked I really dont know of anything Obama did that was not already underway before he took office that did one thing to make getting Osama any easier

as a side note have you heard there are credible people who have said that we have been lied to. These sources say that Pakistan had actually been holding Osama at that compound for 6 years and we only got him because they decided it was to their advantage to turn him over - they say there really wasnt a real raid and that it just a cover story - one of the reasons they killed him was to keep it from coming out

ARE YOU SHITTIN ME !!! 10 Hondurans in the caravans are suing President Trump in a class action suit alleging he is violating their 5th Amendent rights. Since when did the Constitution apply to everybody on earth???? If we start allowing foreigners to clog the court attempting to dictate policy we are doomed !! I say for every Honduran seeking “asylum” that tries to cross our border hold back $50k in aid to Honduras per incident. Bet that would motivate the Honduran government to at least try to do something!! Same goes for Guatemala !!
